August 8, 1910

Rudolf Epp (July 30, 1834 to August 8, 1910) was a popular German painter. This much we can gain from a Google translation. Here is an excerpt:

....Epp has succeeded in his artistic expression to remain faithful and not to resort to artificial and exaggerated stereotypes of bourgeois buyers.His motives are realistic and describe life in the late 19th century without judging. This makes them attractive to today and to art and culture historically valuable products. ....
